In British Columbia we are blessed with a wonderful bounty of fresh foods including fruits all around. This is why I found myself with a twenty bag of apples that were hand-picked by my beautiful daughters from a ‘pick-you-own’ farm called The Apple Barn in Abbotsford which is about an hour and a half drive from our home in West Vancouver. As an aside, this is a great place to take the kids for an all-around autumnal experience with not just the apple-picking but also a pumpkin patch, corn maze, and all the fixins you’d ever need.

But back to the apples – there were too many of them as it’s very easy to get carried away when you’re just picking them off the trees in front of you. So I had already made three apple pies, a couple of jars of apple butter and an apple crisp and so I turned to Mary Berry for a new idea. The Apple and Cinnamon Cake.
